StoryErle Stanley Gardner's 1961
novel
Felton Grimes doesn't have both oars in
the water, or so his wife's best friend, Gwynn Elston,
thinks. It seems that the oddball Felton is often out of
town on business, so much so that his wife Nell has asked
Gwynn to move in with her. Gwynn does so and soon likes
her new home and her job selling encyclopedias door to
door.
But she doesn't like Felton. When he's
home, he's constantly trying to put the move on Gwynn.
One day on the job, Gwynn is astonished to see Felton's
picture in someone else's house. Not only that, but to
the Gillette family, Felton Grimes is Frank Gillette,
husband and father. Then Felton, or whatever his real
name is, tries to poison Gwynn. It's a close shave, but
she survives. She sees Perry for advice. It's a good
thing, too. Because when Felton is found shot to death,
the police arrest Gwynn for the crime.
